I also have big hands, but some plug designs are so low profile that if they are plugged into a particularly tight receptacle, you can't get good leverage to remove them. You get the plug partially out, then try to reposition your grip to pull it the rest of the way or you grab it too far forward and your fingers slip while squeezing, and BAM, zapped.

Power strips are the biggest culprit for this one, since your fingers can end up on the seam between cord and strip and more easily slip under when unplugging.

I am aware, but GFCI is the common term in the US, especially for outlets. RCD is used most other places. I was trying to keep the terminology consistent to what would be expected regionally.

One feature of UK plugs I really like is the built in warding of the live/neutral slots. The ground prong is longer to allow for the mechanism to unlock the hot slot when inserted. It's essentially a built in childproofing.

:) only the strong survive.

An actual answer: you very quickly learn to pull in a way that prevents your fingers from slipping onto the prongs, or you just pull the cord to remove things from outlets. That creates its own long term problems, but most people don't really give a shit because the US is built off cheap plastic shit that you simply replace when it breaks.

That being said, I've received like 5 or 6 good hits of the 110v wake up due to the eccentricities of the US plug. It hurts like a bitch, but probably won't kill you if you don't have a pace maker and aren't grabbing something grounded with the other hand.

We also only use GFCI in the bathroom and kitchen and don't use RCD breakers. It's honestly astonishing that the US electrical system doesn't kill more people.

After meeting with local grass, Mamdani still believes grass is green.

I know that she's just lying and being a piece of shit as usual.

That being said, could you not lie better? Saying that every order the president gives is lawful is such a 5 year old's understanding of how the government works. It's such a naive thing to say.

Yeah, they did some shifty stuff to pad their numbers. They still made an absurd amount of money.

You should add a trash can peeking out from the edge

Let me fix that phrasing: "One of the richest men in the world complains that others did not give him more money after his business made so much money."

What a sad existence. Find some other form of validation, dude.

Well duh, the US is the evolving Russian threat

I can't remember anyone's birthday or name, but I absorb random scientific information like a sponge.

I hate that this is so funny
